Tablescaping With Kimberly Schlegel Whitman

I thought you would enjoy seeing four more photos from Kimberly's book, Tablescapes (Gibbs-Smith). I know Mom of a German Shorthair will love these pheasant plates.This tablescape whispers that spring can't be far behind.What a delightful idea for a tablescape!I am so ready for green!I love this napkin ring. I'm wondering if I could make napkin rings from little stained glass "light catchers."I'm still slogging away, but should be back posting regularly soon.

Hello Gollum, congrats on the babies, how lucky you are to experience such things down on the farm :). I am the proud owner of Kimberlys book and I love the butterfly rings and insect plates, so much inspiration, thank you for the recommendatios, happy to read that the slogging will be over soon for your sake and for ours, we miss you, hugs, Kathy.

I havae to go buy this book! Was there any information on those pheasant plates? And the pewter chargers ..... heaven.I'm so going to steal (uh, borrow) that idea of a moss covered table. I'm doing a ladies luncheon in a week. I do believe that the buffet table will be moss covered! Thanks for sharing all of these pics!Glad the slogging is going well! We all miss you!Carol

Hi gollum! We miss you, but I'm glas all is going well with your writing! Thanks for the additional pics...gorgeous!! I have a blog for you:http://www.twirlandtaste.comIt's Libby Murphy...also a writer from Tennessee! She's only been blogging a week, but her posts are wonderful. Do you know her? Her blog is jam-packed with recipes and wonderful tablescapes!!! You should pay her a visit! I think you two would be instant best friends!! lol Have a great day...Debbie

I have missed you girl!! hope you are feeling better and DR.G is taking care of you...love those Pewter chargers and the moss thats a new one on me..thanks for sharing...now go cut a piece of cheese cake and get back to writing..hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

*****"Oh, be still my foolish heart"! And you are SO right, GG~~~ I ADORE those to-die-for pheasant plates (DEFINITELY "LOVE at FIRST SIGHT!")...annnnd, the old chargers (what CHARACHTER!), annnnd ALL the tables in general annnndddd....well, EVERYTHING is just too fabulous for words! (This gal has beauuuutiful "goodies"!)~~~ Jim's OOT (out of town), so I've been playing w/ table-settings for two days (BFF & her DH visiting soon, for 4 days!) & I thought they looked nice UNTIL I saw these. BUT, it's been fun messing up the dish pantry, etc! Many THANKS & CONGRATS on the babies, too!!! XOXOXOX, Linda

Michael's has in some butterflies for spring that look very similar to these...although they're not as blinged up, so they're not as ornate. Something could probably be done about that though! :O) A beautiful table. Have you visited this Austrailian blog? http://cotyfarquhar.blogspot.com/There's a cool centerpiece & lots of eye candy.

The tablescapes are beautiful, but your "Quick Appetizers" are REALLY beautiful and delicious looking. Where there's a will, there's a way. I know you can come up with a solution to turning light catchers in to napkin rings.

I gotta say, moss on a table has never appealed to me. Am I the only one? How would you keep the dishes, flatware, napkins etc. clean? I'm with you, I'm so ready for spring.

Evening, Dear Gollum. Hope the book writing is going well. Your fans are waiting in anticipation!! I love this book and the last photo is just so beautiful to me. I love the green underplate and the sweet little dessert plate. Sure you could make that napkin ring. Remember, you can do everything!Be a sweetie,shelia :)

Oh dear! I love everything in each tablescape!!!!!!!!!!! Can't pick a favorite....I must get this book!!!! I am so ready for spring, green, COLOR, etc. SOOOO ready! We are in Fl. visiting and it is COLD...going into the 20's tonight!!!! BRRR...this has helped my mood tremendously!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us! Hugs, Pinky

Hi Michael...you might want to put the link to this post into Mr. Linky for Tablescape Thursday...it's up and ready if you want to add it. Thanks for posting some more pics from her book...I need to get it! :-) Susan

HALLELUJAH, GG! I FINALLY got to be a "subscriber", so I can find out the minute you write/post something NEW!!! I've been WAITING for that, kiddo, as I check in here constantly~~~ (I don't want to miss ANYTHING you do here... "it's all soooo GOOD"!!!)~ Happiest hugs n/ many thanks, Linda

Yeah! You have babies! I am going to find me a lamb soon. I love you sharing this book, I love the birds so so much! I think I will go out and pick willow branches and make a bird cage. I made one three feet tall and 15 inches round for my sister- in- law. I love to a a small one. Thanks for the inspiration.

Gollum, I really need to buy that tablescape book. Her tablescapes are awesome. I love.. that pheasant salad plate. All of the pewter is awesome. I miss you. And I am looking forward to your return. No pressure really.. take your time. Hugs, Terrie

Hello Gollum! I have heard so much about you from RMS to blogland..took me awhile to figure out this blogging business! Still don't know what I'm doing! I have so enjoyed your home! It's beautiful! I had no idea you were an author! I can't wait to read your books! The tablescapes are absolutely gorgeous! I am very new to blogging and have started a blog but it is definitely in the infant stages! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home & farm! Lauralu
